I don’t know what to say here… here’s some ska. I really hope you dig it. I seriously love every song on this episode, even the one in a language I don’t fully understand, but that’s the thing about ska, right? It’s bringing us together. The love of music, the love of a good time, that’s ska. No matter the language, no matter the country, no matter the decade, it’s that ska beat that brings us joy. I hope this episode brings you joy too.

Here it is because the listeners demanded it (seriously, there was a poll on the facebook page) it’s a more tilted towards ska than to ska/punk episode! So many of these bands are just great, and several I have been waiting to share with you since the end of November! I hope everything is going well with you, and that everything keeps going well! All my listeners are wonderful people who deserve the best, like good music! Hope you all enjoy!

Blah blah blah show information. Something like that, right? Anyway, so yeah, these are words. A way for me, the silent host of this podcast to reach out and try to make a connection with you, the listener. All I’ve ever wanted to say to you is live your life and thanks for putting some ska in your ears. That’s it. Hope you’ve found some bands from this podcast. Also, if you dig it, tell your friends. I mean, you’re cool so they must be too. And that’s a good thing. Only cool people are allowed to listen to this show.

Here we are. Another week older. Another week wiser. Another week with an episode of 23min of Ska for all of you! This episode seems like a throwback to the early episodes of this show. Hope that it isn’t too “third wave-y” for anyone. But yeah, just like every week, I’m glad you are there to listen. It means a lot that you keep “podcasting” in, checking the facebook or the website each week. So thanks! This episode is for all the supporters out there, present, future, and past!

A celebration of the music of Buck-O-Nine I did for ThirdWaveSka.com Radio. Includes well known and a bit of more rare music from Buck-O-Nine, included a rare cover of Gregory Isaacs’ “Night Nurse.” All this, as well as stories from fans of the band!

Why do I do shows like this? Ones w/ non ska bands playing ska songs? I don’t know, they’re kinda fun. Fun for me at least, I hope they’re also fun for you too. Put on your dancing shoes and get down to some ska inspired songs from bands that don’t usually bust out the beat.

It’s May and that means another mix tape! Hurrah! Now, the ’00s were getting to be a dark time for ska music. Bands were breaking up, switching over to emo and rock and/or dropping their horn sections all together. It was sad. Luckily, two things were going on, some bands were sticking it out and other bands were forming to fill that void. Getting booked wasn’t easy, ska was on its way back underground, but you’d have to be really out of touch to miss these acts. This whole month is dedicated to those bands in the form of a 90min mix tape broken up over a month. Enjoy it, let it take you back, it did for me!
